Definition
A place where graves are located; a burial ground or cemetery, especially a small or designated area for graves.
Etymology
Compound of 'grave' (burial place) and 'stead' (place or location, from Old English 'stede'). This term blends Germanic roots for a location associated with graves.
Kelly Says
The word 'stead' survives in place names like 'homestead' and 'farmstead,' but 'gravestead' reminds us how firmly land itself—not just individual graves—was once defined by its use for the dead.
